Worth knowing about Productiv

  • Productiv made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors on June 25, 2026 (per Torii's write-up); Stretto administers claims, creditor claim deadline Dec 22, 2026.
  • Announced sunset on Aug 2, 2026; customer access ended Aug 5 and operations ceased Aug 6.

  • No acquirer; this is a wind-down, unlike Trelica (acquired by 1Password, January 2025)

What reviewers complain about

Zylo

  • Usage tracking depends on logins going through the SSO tool (Okta), so other logins go untracked.
